2/4?
I figured the city and county lost their concern over the drought when they turned the public fountains back on a couple of months ago.
Other than a few farmers, who uses ground water around here? The ground water level in the Central Valley has been pumped down so far that the ground level has subsided 30 feet or more ion places. That won't recover until 1) they stop pumping; and 2) we restore the natural surface water replenishment flow by abandoning the dams in the mountains so that Kern Lake, Buena Vista Lake, and Tulare Lake are allowed their historic waters.

Yes, or 2/5.
Desalination plants can't hurt...
Im officially calling and end of the drought.
We could begin a new drought next year, or even later this year, as we live in an arid or semi-arid region.
The last drought is history.

They are the obvious stop-gap to supply water during drought.
Since we live in a region where drought is part of the natural climate cycle, common sense agrees.

Thank Trump, deregulation is the new black.

Fossil fuel divestment crashes and burns at the University of Denver
I may be wrong, but I think this is what Bruddahs' talkinbout.
Students and faculty at the University of Denver walked out of classes on Monday to protest the Trump administration’s climate change denial, organizers said.
More than 100 students joined the protest outside the Driscoll Student Center starting at 11:30 Monday.
“The walkout was lead by the student organization Divest DU, which calls on Chancellor Chopp and the Board of Trustees to divest the university’s endowment from the fossil fuel industry in order to combat climate change and protect all of our futures,” organizers said in a statement Sunday.
Regarding divestment, the Board adopted the task force recommendation that divestment in fossil fuel companies, or any other industry, would not be an effective means of mitigating global warming nor would it be consistent with the endowment’s long-term purpose to provide enduring benefit to present and future students, faculty, staff and other stakeholders. Rather, the University of Denver’s greatest ability to mitigate climate change and foster a sustainable future lies in deploying its core competencies: education, research and the ability to foster informed community discourse and in accelerating its sustainability in its operations.
A strategy of industry stigmatization drives a wedge between the University of Denver and the fossil fuel companies that represent an important part of the economic base of Colorado and the nation. Equally important, stigmatizing fossil fuel companies inherently involves stigmatization of their employees as well. As a general matter, the panel believes that stigmatizing individuals based upon a career choice to work for an employer engaged in a lawful enterprise is inappropriate.

Been there, done that, people who reject Science in favor of the biblical narrative of Earth's Creation, are not the kind of people who seek out jobs where that biblical narrative is blown out of the water.

Don't confuse being religious with believing in Creationism, they are not the same. I know plenty of Christians, very few if any Creationists.
